In accordance with some embodiments, a card game provides for a plurality of cards to be dealt in an unending finite sequence configuration of card positions (e.g., the card positions may be arranged in a circle configuration). A player may then select one of the card positions in the sequence when placing a wager. The card in the selected card position is revealed to the player, as are an additional number cards in the sequence in a particular direction of play (e.g., the next 4 cards, clockwise or counterclockwise, in the sequence), forming the player hand for the game. In some embodiments the player may choose the number of cards included in the player hand in addition to the card in the selected card position beginning from which the player hand is determined and/or the direction of play. |

1. A gaming system for providing a card game, the system comprising:
a processor operable to receive, over an electronic network, input from a player device and modify data on a game interface in response thereto; a memory storing a program for directing the processor, the processor being operable with the program to: provide a game interface which includes a plurality of card positions into which cards are placed, the card positions being configured in a finite sequence arranged in an unending configuration having a first card position, a last card position and at least one card position between the first card position and the last card position, wherein an unending configuration aspect of the finite sequence of card positions provides that the last card position in the sequence is considered to occur immediately adjacent to the first card position in the sequence irrespective of a physical placement of the last card position relative to the first card position; cause a plurality of cards to be dealt for a game event, thereby determining a plurality of dealt cards; place a single card of the plurality of dealt cards into each card position in the finite sequence of card positions, wherein at least one of the plurality of cards is placed such that it's value is not initially indicated to a player of the game; determine that a player has actuated a player-selectable mechanism for placing a wager and provided, via an in input mechanism of the player device, a selection of one card position of the plurality of card positions, thereby determining a selected card position; define a subset of card positions within the sequence to be utilized in determining a composition of a player hand of the game event for the player, the subset including the selected card position, by:
(a) determining a direction of card positions in the finite sequence, from the selected card position, for selecting card positions to be included in the subset;(b) determining a number of card positions, in the direction and from the selected card position, to be included in the subset; and(c) selecting for the subset a plurality of consecutive card positions, up to the number determined in (b), which occur in the finite sequence in the direction determined in (a); determine, for each card position included in the subset, a value of a card placed in the card position, thereby determining the composition of the player hand; and cause a prize to be provided to the player if, based on the composition of the player hand, it is determined that the player hand is a winning hand. |
